Have you tried ReadyBoost and then turning off your pagefile?

Try disabling your paging file and then use Readyboost, this helped in my case.

Disabling the pagefile would only make matters worse. That could cause 'out
of memory' errors as well as cause installed programs to fail to start as
many look for a page allocation when initializing.

Re: LAGGING IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!!

Hi,

Look to what is running in the background at boot. A lag is caused by the
system's resources being occupied by other processes. Normally, the sources
for this are malware, misconfigured antivirus software, and an excessive
number of programs loading as part of the startup axis.
